Film Shooters Meet & Greet

I am really excited about this group and thank each of you who expressed an interest in participating. I would love to have a informal meet & greet where we could all meet each other and discuss/plan some future events. Hopefully you can all come out to Ascension Coffee on Thursday, August 8th around 6:45pm.

I'm part of a North Texas Film Photography Flickr group and would be honored for you guys to join there too. I'm not sure how easy it is to post photos on this website, but Flickr is built for that.

Many thanks to our founder. It was a successful first meeting. We had a great mix of interests and knowledge. I look forward to increased membership and participation and I'm excited about the possibilities.

Depends on how big and the quality you would like. There are great online resources for making digital negatives and printing them out on transparent media with photo paper settings. Seems a lot of alt photo people are going this route now. I'm told there is a significant learner curve to get consistent results but I've seen some really amazing work. Another option would be to use someone like Gamma Tech and doing an 8x10 LVP output from your LARGE file.

Locally, it's Don's in Dallas and Arlington Camera. Both have limited selection, but if you need something "today". Freestyle is good when they have what you want. B&H has just about everything. You can even find stuff on Amazon.

Does anybody here want a free tote full of old Kodak Photo Paper to play with an enlarger or use as paper negatives? I'm never going to get around to it and it's in the way.
Estimated 1800 sheets of 8x10 Polycontrast III RC Glossy900 sheets of 5x7 Kodabrome II RC plus some odds and ends 11x14 stuff.

It's been stored inside, but not refrigerated for at least a dozen years.

If somebody calls dibs I'll sit on it till we're both at a meet up and bring it. If I don't hear anything over the next few days I'll toss it.

We're about:

This is a group for the photographers out there who still use and love film. If you are interested in film photography, the state of the film industry, or if you are just interested in making some new friends who love to create, you are in the right place.

We will start planning some events once enough people express an interest in the group. Let me know if you have any ideas for an event!
